ResumeSpider - A jobseeker tool you need to know about

If you haven't checked out ResumeSpider yet, then you are missing an opportunity to proactively get your resume to recruiters and hiring managers. And the best part is, instead of only sending one resume at a time, you can distribute many resumes at once.

I know that typically job search information is free to jobseekers, but isn't it worth a nominal fee to get matched with open positions and easily send your resume for consideration? Now is the time to stand out in the crowd and here's an easy way to do it that doesn't cost a lot of money. Check out this great video: Why should I make the investment in ResumeSpider?

CareerBuilder's "FREE" Resume Review - Here's Why It's Free!

As promised,here's my review of CareerBuilder's new service cbResumeReview. They are promoting this great new service to job seekers - "Get a FREE critique of your Resume!" I submitted my resume at 11:40am and actually noted the time because I wanted to let everyone know what sort of timeframe to expect. I received and email that my review was complete at 11:42am. WOW! They can critique my 2 page resume in 2 minutes? What a joke! I received a "generic" email that had absolutely no personalization except for my name - check it out. What a disappointment and waste of my time. I don't recommend using this service. he review I discussed in my March 11th post, CareerBuilder's Free Resume Review Is Bot-Driven Junk was totally accurate - it's JUNK!!
